Looks like Liberty do react to competition when needed.

UPC is currently testing broadband services at up to 500Mbps. A commercial launch in the Netherlands is expected this year, said Mike Fries, CEO of parent company Liberty Global, on a conference call over Q1 results. Sister company Cablecom in Switzerland will also offer the 500Mbps service. UPC Netherlands recently increased its top speed to 200Mbps, in response to growing competition from FTTH services.
